At the Women’s Imaging Center, we recognize the risks associated with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. We have supported the measures put in place to mitigate its effect on our communities. While vaccination distribution has begun, we must continue social distancing measures while the immunization process unfolds.

We continue to evaluate and implement the proper protocols to minimize potential exposure for patients who seek medical care.

As a stand-alone imaging facility, we are able to offer additional options to decrease the chances of exposure. The following precautions are currently in place and will continue to evolve to meet recommended safety guidelines.

1. Screening
   • The Women’s Imaging Center is a non-COVID-19 site.
   • Prior to arrival, patients are screened for symptoms at the time of scheduling.
   • On arrival, a secondary screen, including a temperature check, is performed.
   • Symptomatic patients will be asked to reschedule.
2. Distancing
   • Our waiting room has been modified to allow for social distancing.
   • Patients may also choose to wait in their cars, with parking available right outside our front door.
   • Protective plexiglass shields have been installed at our front desk.
   • Admittance is restricted to patients only. If patients require assistance, we are happy to provide help or allow a single caregiver if necessary.
   • In order to limit interactions, results of diagnostic breast imaging studies will be conveyed by the technologist who performed the exam after consultation with the radiologist, unless otherwise requested.
3. Cleaning
   • Common areas are cleaned on a regular schedule throughout the day.
   • Patient exam rooms are cleaned after each patient.
   • Facility deep cleaning is performed in the evenings.
4. Masking
   • Universal masking is required for staff and patients in the facility.
   • Patients are encouraged to wear their own medical masks to conserve supply. However, one will be provided on arrival if needed.

Our goal is to provide vital medical imaging services while maintaining the safety of our patients and staff. Please contact us at 360-428-7275 if you have additional questions or concerns.
